    I watched Detroit and Indiana yesterday. NO imagination on offense. Boring, methodical offensive schemes. Give it to one guy, send two guys back on defense, then throw up a hope and try to get an offensive rebound and jack it up again. Dribble the clock out every possession. Yuck.

    Just because the scores are low doesn't mean good defense is being played. Scared, unimaginitive offense and poor shooting don't equal good defense.

    Dallas is just as good of a defensive team as Indiana or Miami, and just a shade under Detroit. Phoenix will be better defensively when they get a little older and work together over the offseason, but the Suns can still run Detroit or Indiana out of the gym right now with relative ease.
    The Pistons destroyed Phoenix once and gave the game away the second time. They killed them on the offensive boards in the two games. No team will run anyone out of the gym when you get killed on the offensive boards.

      I dont remember to many Bulls games where the end of 1st quater score was 11-17.

Your arguments are becoming more and more pathetic everytime you are proved wrong with the stats you seek. Detroit holding the Suns to 25 points under their league average is not impressive to you? You are entitled to your opinion though .

              Coming from Erod...none of this nonsense surprises me.

              Erod, tell us again how Oklahoma's offensive line will abuse USC's defensive line.

                It's funny how everybody said that either Detroit or Indiana would have had no shot against the Lakers because their offenses were so horrible, but we all know how that turned out. Erod, c'mon man, you may not like the defensive struggles that go on out here in the East, but don't hate so blatantly like that.

                  Destroyed, yep while Nash was out and the SUns on the road. They played tougher in that game in Phoenix and took it from Detroit.

                          Well, at lunch, I heard Dan Patrick agree entirely with me on ESPN radio. He called the offenses of Detroit and Indiana as unimaginative as he's seen. "Don't confuse good defense with bad offense", he said.

                          At least he agrees with me.

                            Dan Patrick really is an *******.

                            If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                              Come on, jmood. You should know better, bro. If you don't agree with what Erod has to say, that's fine, but contribute to the thread in a positive manner. Your post has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

                                When did Dan Patrick become an NBA scout/analyst/expert/guru/someone who's opinions concerning the NBA held the tiniest drop of water?
